On May 1, 2015, Brinker International purchased $369,000, 11% bonds, with interest payable on January 1 and July 1, for $328,200, INCLUDING accrued interest. The bonds mature on August 1, 2023. Amortization is recorded using the straight-line method and the bonds are classified as trading. On December 31, 2019, the bonds were adjusted to their proper carrying value when their fair value was $380,717.
Assuming the bonds were sold on July 1, 2020 for $401,507, PLUS accrued interest, determine the gain or loss on the sale of the bonds?
(Note: Round the answer to the nearest whole dollar. Accrue interest and amortize premium/discount on a monthly basis. If a gain results, enter the answer as a positive number. If a loss results, enter a minus sign '-' prior to the amount of the loss.)
